The optimal timing depends on multiple factors including your industry's market conditions, your business performance, and tax considerations. With 2025's capital gains changes, planning 6-12 months ahead is crucial to maximize value and minimize taxes.
Value maximization starts 1-2 years before sale. Key strategies include improving recurring revenue, documenting processes, strengthening management teams, cleaning up financials, and optimizing working capital. We help identify and implement value drivers specific to your industry.
Share sales typically offer better tax treatment for sellers through the capital gains exemption, while buyers often prefer asset purchases. We structure deals to balance tax efficiency with marketability, sometimes using hybrid structures to optimize both.
